MEDIA BRIEFS: Ampersand is the new name for Cream

Cream, the much-vaunted lifestyle magazine which plans to launch next month, has had to change its name to Ampersand. Jonathan Kern, publisher of the independent title, said the decision was taken after the threat of legal action from Liverpool's Cream nightclub. The first issue will still be out on 7 March, Kern insisted. The editor is Andrew Harvey.
